4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> commit 264285ac01673e70557c43ecee338ce97c4c0672 upstream. Set the initrd @start depending on the presence of an initrd. Otherwise, builtin microcode loading doesn't work as the start is wrong and we're using it to compute offset to the microcode blobs.
